Abstract:
In the last years, in the European Union, initial training has been standardized for the realization of an extended common area of vocational training, in a society based on technology, but in an increasingly competitive economy. From this point of view, the European context offers the possibility of harmonizing the initial vocational training systems in the component countries by introducing learning outcomes adapted to the digitalization era. Romania is in the situation the impossibility of having an initial training in relation to the new requirements for almost all the fields of qualification. This research presents the most important results regarding the barriers that may appear in initial training in accordance with Revolution 4.0. The data were obtained by applying a questionnaire on a representative sample of teachers from pre-university and technical education in Dambovita county. Issues involved are: identification of obstacles, ways to overcome barriers, possible policies to facilitate digitization, future challenges of the professions. In this way, we were able to identify potential barriers. Finally, a matrix of the main barriers and mechanisms emerged from the total responses.
